The gap between what it could be and reality is rather large.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
well, well...
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I think I said it all. Happy for HR to respond to this. But maybe you would not only respond here but actually respond inside the company. And while we are talking about HR here: none of you is older than 1 year in the company. Everyone has left. I salute you for staying... seriously. But you got to be on your guard and I wish that you'd find the strength to establish your position among the mgmt and partners - a position you deserve and that serves the employees of the company. Cheers!
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Take into account what the established working crowd really says, where their challenges are. Strengthen HR - they have no power, no established processes to assist in conflicts between Mgmt and consultants.
Stop getting new partners - how will you pay them? Rather do the math and get the job done so you'd be alive when a next wave comes.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
With trying to go international and bigger it definitely losts its soul. Real sad what has become of a well liked work place. Too many German university grads have filled the place.

Re-branding AWK to Eraneos.. what can I say? The biggest mistake made by the current Management. Since then we all have to explain ourselves and apologize for the rather strange name.
May I add: a professional branding company has been entrusted with the rebranding process. How silly must one be to agree with a Swiss (Latin) word game for a new name? Try introducing Eraneos in any Englsh speaking country.
Work-Life-Balance
The time model is outrages! They even had the authorities knocking on the doors and give them an ultimatum to change the setting as for years they didn't meet the minimum of holiday days required by the law. I think that says a lot.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
internal small wanna-be certificates are one thing. If you want an education you'd pay for yourself in most cases. Or they pin you down for ages.
Gehalt/Benefits
Not paying salary or pension that can meet Zurich expectation. I don't understand why they don't change that. Too many have left. How many more must leave before they change that?
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
To be responsible - to be sustainable... what a "nice" but only very trendy word. The whole Western world has bought into that. Sorry folks, it won't make a difference if we try to compensate this or that. Its rather a joke.
Besides that boring theme: If a company has a good culture - that is something to pursue. But this one doesn't - how else would one explaine how many, many have left within the last three years?
Kollegenzusammenhalt
I guess it depends in what team. I have read on here that some have experience great team work. Can't say that at all for what I have seen.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Sadly mostly only uni grads are recruited. I will never get it why there are any ppl in HR / Mgmt that are in their right mind that won't regard experience as the top talent. But hey, this is Switzerland, only what your degree or paper says is valid. HR has worked like this for decades in this country. Go figure somewhere else - outside Switzerland/Germany this is so much different.
And do not buy the lie that a 50+ employee is costing the company more due to the pension. Calculate that against other costs & waste of money and you'll see that bringing such an argument is ridiculous. It's not anything of any financial significance for any company. Seriously!
Vorgesetztenverhalten
I'd say pretty much all of them should get an education, what it means to be a leader and how to work with people. How to envision, how manage conflicts, how to work on yourself.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Not paying salary or pension that can meet Zurich expectation. I don't understand why they don't change that. Too many have left. How many more must leave before they change that?
Kommunikation
Top mgmt ain't able to communicate believable. If you change from a Swiss culture to international while most people are somewhat locals but you gotta do it in English... well, what can I say, almost all would need a prenounciation education. So why speak G-English? Keep it local as after all it ain't international at all from a business perspective but very, very local. So the whole thing is a farce and certainly a burden to most.
The content of the communication has the same level and depths as the language. Sadly most do not believe what is communicated but rather see thru the cracks. That ain't trustworthy.
Gleichberechtigung
This is not about male/female or the gender thingy. In my experience this company lacks in transparency how one gets promoted. However, what I have seen is that most of those that have been promoted on the fast track left after 1-2 years. While others wait for years for a promotion. Why? Because they simply do a great job at the client site.. but won't get noticed in the higher ranks due to less visibilty. If you do math, what is worth more - even for EBIT - a high performing consultant at the client site creating a steady flow revenue - or youngsters who talk a lot inside the company to gain a profile in order to be promoted?
Interessante Aufgaben
it has become a body leasing company. What's interesting on that? My request for international work - as it was announced since AWK went Eraneos (what a name!!) and hence international - no one has been able to fulfill.
